Being an artist is one of the great joys of my life, and nothing delights me more than flinging paint at a canvas and seeing what unfolds. My art bursts with bold colors and rich textures, inspired by my years in Australia—especially the dazzling underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef. I never begin with a plan. Whether I’m creating an acrylic painting, a collage, or a mixed media piece, I start with a blank surface and let the magic happen. The brush leads, I follow, and together we discover something new.
